Holidaymakers may be inspired to book cheap flights to Spain though Jet2.com after having a wander round its destinations on Google Street View.
The search engine firm has launched "large swathes" of new maps of the country, including parts of Tenerife and Majorca.
People planning a trip to these islands can now put together a detailed itinerary or compile driving directions, it said.
"[It's easier] than ever for Brits to find the perfect chip butty, karaoke joint or sea-view hotel before they book," the organisation added.
The technology works by allowing internet users to zoom in and enjoy 3D views of roads and streets when a 'Pegman' icon appears on a map.
It was launched in 2007 and contains guides to other nations such as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and Holland.
The service was initially controversial after some commentators voiced security concerns, while other surfers claimed to have spotted celebrities such as singer Liam Gallagher on the maps.
Book cheap flights to Spain online from Jet2.com, the friendly low fares airline.
